american leader ‘happy to see gazans breaking siege on oct. 7’

Is such a headline possible? Today it is.

No surprise then that CAIR is not listed anymore in the strategy against antisemitism.

When the White House announced its new national strategy to counter antisemitism on May 25, it stated that 24 organizations were supporting “the whole-of-society call to action.”

The Council on American-Islamic Relations was among the two dozen, per an archived version of the page.

As of 1:51 p.m. on Dec. 7, the archived page continued to reference CAIR, but at some time thereafter, the White House removed that reference.

In response to a question from JNS about whether CAIR still deserved that second chance after its comments on Oct. 7, Lipstadt said, “it is irresponsible and abhorrent to try in any way to justify Hamas’s murder of more than 1,000 Israeli civilians including through indiscriminate attacks.”

is the temple mount the central peace issue? temple institute rabbi lays it on american jewery & government – 32min

The Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations of America (UOJCA), also known as the Orthodox Union (OU) rebuked Israeli Rabbis for a letter sent to Kerry demanding America to cease & desist “peace efforts” interference in Israel or face the fury & judgement of the God of the universe!

This rebuke, challenging Torah / biblical authority enraged Israeli orthodox rabbis – understandably so.

Anyone know of an equivalent law in Israel? I suspect not. What is the underlying message that is so plainly made by Hamas passing this law?

egypt military reluctant to yield power – 03min

CAIRO – Egypt’s military will retain broad executive powers, help shape the framing of a new constitution and keep its vast financial holdings hidden even after an elected parliament is seated, one of the ruling generals told foreign journalists Wednesday.

Maj. Gen. Mukhtar Mulla sounded at times conciliatory and other times defensive or defiant in a rare two-hour interview that offered the most in-depth look to date at the vision that the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces has for Egypt’s democratic transition. Since they took power upon President Hosni Mubarak’s ouster last February, the reclusive generals typically have announced their plans via state media or an official Facebook page.

“We don’t speak of our work. We let our work speak for us,” Mulla said, explaining the opacity of the council’s inner workings and its financial portfolio.

The latest communique, issued Wednesday, hands executive powers to the military-appointed interim prime minister, Kamal el-Ganzouri, except for command of the armed forces and the judiciary.

Fear-mongering? Well, no. Everyone ignores Hitler when he was broadcasting his plans. He was just harmless & crazy … just like Ahmadinejad right?

“Pentagon chief laments Israel’s growing ‘isolation’ from traditional partners like Turkey” – Washington Post

Did the US have no impact on this “growing isolation”? Maybe it depends on the media & spin you’ve been exposed to. Really – check out the history of the “peace process” & see where offers & concessions happened. Check how many concessions the PA, Hamas & Hezbollah made.

Also, an update on future politics in Egypt. Concerns around the elections in Egypt – 60% thus far (at time of this recording) went to Islamist parties. Realistically the hopes for peace would have been in victories for secular parties.

…and insurgency warning in weeks or months ahead in pro-western Jordan. Would the US support Jordan or also ‘assist’ in terms of toppling the government of the only likely peaceful border that Israel has?

the son of hamas sheikh & imam that followed Jesus – 12min

Audio: Mosab, the eldest son of a famous Islamic leader in Hamas, was a keen believer in Islam, but after an intense period of working as a double-agent he eventually realised that Israel was not the enemy after all. He found the Truth in the Bible someone gave him could best describe what he saw people do & was challenged to start his journey of becoming a follower of Jesus.

Mosab Hassan Yousef, the son of a Hamas founder and leader Sheikh Hassan Yousef, famously converted to Christianity, served for over a decade as the Shin Bet security service’s most valuable source in the militant organization’s leadership. The intelligence he supplied Israel led to the exposure of a number of terrorist cells, and to the prevention of dozens of suicide bombings and assassination attempts on Israeli figures. Mosab was considered the Shin Bet’s most reliable source in the Hamas leadership, earning himself the nickname “the Green Prince” – using the color of the Islamist group’s flag, and “prince” because of his pedigree as the son of one of the movement’s founders.
